- JUDD GREGG IS DESTROYING OUR CONVERSATION: Only a few more hours until Jonah Goldberg steals the news by being named Commerce Secretary, so we better get all of our “Judge Dredd” posts in. We’ve entered the second phase of this nasty story, where the various anonymous partisans go crazy with the leaks: “WASHINGTON (CNN) — A Democratic source close to the Obama White House said Thursday that Judd Gregg ‘campaigned for the job’ — that the New Hampshire senator had asked Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to approach the president about the Commerce post.” A Republican source has responded that in fact Barack Obama kidnapped Judd Gregg’s children and threatened to feed them arugula until Gregg accepted the position. [CNN]
All this “consensus” stuff only reminds me of John Dillinger’s famous statement:
“A kind word and a gun will get you more than a kind word.”
WHEN the FUCK is Hopey going to start talking about his “mandate”?
(And I’m not talking about meeting Larry Craig in the toliet of Nation . . . whoops . . . Ronald Reagan International Airport.)
Something is oh so rotten in Denmark and I’m not talking about David Vitter’s underpants.
Judd the Magic Traitor
Got Scared and Quit
While back a home the people moan
“He’s just like stink on shit.”
More assfucking! And that, boys and girls, is why Mr. Gregg had to withdraw.
Worse than that. Barry threatened to have Gregg’s kids retroactively aborted.
Does Judd Gregg count as two first names? I thought that only happened in the south.
Right, okay. Barry, you know how there are two main class formats in college, lecture and seminar? In the humanities, it’s usually lectures for the underclassmen, and seminars for the slightly older and better-informed kids? You’ve been trying to organize a seminar for first-year frat boys. Time to cough politely and announce that everyone is pulling out their notebooks RIGHT THE FUCK NOW, and TAKING DOWN EVERYTHING YOU ARE FUCKING TELLING THEM, because YES, THIS WILL ALL BE ON THE FUCKING TEST. NOW EVERYONE SHUT THE FUCK UP, EYES ON ME, AND START WRITING LIKE YOUR ASS-CHERRY DEPENDS ON IT!!
And just when we were all getting along so well. This is why we can’t have nice things!
Now Barry himself is saying that Gregg asked for the job.
He did wha..oh fuck ‘em, just fuck…fuck’em.
I’ve lived in NH for ten years and I never heard a collective “goddammit” like the one I heard this afternoon. Every state’s got at least one of these… Our bad.
Gregg’s interviewing for a job and taking of said job, followed by his refusal of job and disavowal of job, and soon to be followed by his promise not to run for Senate again and decision to appoint himself Emperor, is just another typical symptom of the confusion and disarray of the failed Obama administration.
Hey Juddddd:
This bag of dicks aint gonna eat itself.
Hey Barry:
Wake the fuck up: No matter how much you try, the kid in a helmet will never understand the basic rules of four square.
I AM SO TORN between the Republican wingnut and the credible sources *shoots self*
Well, I know I am now satisfied with the brief amount of time Obama has spent being “bipartisan”… So go ahead and release all the photos, video and other assorted blackmail materials you have on these perverted GOP cavemen and let’s all move on to a Brighter Future In America™ shall we?
So Juddly Gregg obvious is a pedophile penis-monster or something right? Why would you quit your sweet Obama gig (just as the head cheerleader was starting to notice you) and decide to not run for reelection?
He either eats baby dicks or HAS one.
Just as a demonstration of how my mind works, I had to read the above headline three times before I stopped seeing “JUDGE DREDD IS DESTROYING OUR CONVERSATION”–so, Jim, glad I’m not the only one.
Does anyone remember two weeks ago when there was still hope in the land and people were proud to be Americans?
Let’s face it, Gregg jumped ship when he found out that all cabinet members had to have foreskins replaced in keeping with Islamic law.
Strangely, Hillary had no problems with this.
OH GOD I LOVE THIS!!! Barry can now appoint pretty much anyone he wants to head Commerce and do the census. I hope he picks RuPaul as Secretary and the gay Mexican from Queer Eye as Undersecretary. We are all gay cross-dressing minorities now.
It was an obvious set-up that Barry walked into (again with some baaad advice from Rahm and Tony). Go find one of those damn Governors he loves so much (Arnold would take it in a minute and would be great…or str8 Charlie down there in Florida). If we are done being bipartisan, why not pick Mike Bloomberg (who’s still a Democrat, no matter what his voter registration sez) and solve all that third term crap in NYC. Judd Gregg was a sucker bet anyhow.
Here’s the deal with Commerce Secretary. Played right it’s like “Vice President” for a real friend (Don Evans for W’s first term, for example). There’s not a lot of responsibility. Pick someone you like and let them travel around talking about how great ‘Merica is. No one outside of NH had heard of Judd Gregg. Let’s go back to that.
Barry’s speaking at an Abe Lincoln event in Springfield RIGHT NOW.

smellyal8r: I don’t think Barry is the one who looks bad here. And he should pick a fucking real liberal to head commerce now, not Bloomberg. Someone like Reich. I would climax if he picked Roubini.
I suspect Rod Blagojevich has something to do with this.

The only good politician who ever came from New Hampshire was President Bartlett.
chascates: He looks like a slightly ugly Kevin Arnold.
I knew Gregg wasn’t even worth the buttsecks…
Obama needs to get the gal that I got my pay day title loan from to run Commerce.
She was really good.
Time to remind ole Judd, all of the House Republicans and the rightwing radio fools that Hopey WON the fucking election. Kick those scrawny mutts off to the side of the road and let them starve to death. I’m sorry if this was taken the wrong way.
Barry, you tried bipartisan. Bipartisan doesn’t work.
So fuck these assclowns and get on with the gettin’ on.
judge greggdump is obvi a mischievous lil scamp. it seems to me that he wanted to humiliate Obama and his “economic plan” from the start, feigning interest in the post and then knowing full well he would pull out at the right moment to save the bruised Republican party and its brand of fiscal conservative poppycock. Live Free, or Fake It.

IceCreamEmpress: It might be prudent, if anyone cares to research it, to see how many times the Republicans didn’t steam-roll the Dems over the last 10 years of their reign. When you’ve come up with the number (hint: the answer is never), then we can establish the number of concessions and olive branches that should be extended by the newly re-branded “Party of no Testicles,” (hint again: its the blue one on that map we see every four years).
Leon Panetta Confirmed As CIA Director By Senate! At least something got done. By spring break he’ll have a full cabinet.
I’m awaiting the next Washington Post editorial, cowritten by David Broder: “Gregg’s Chickenshit Resignation Due to Republican Pressure Shows Obama’s Failure to be Bipartisan,” complete by much tut-tutting over the lack of bipartisanship in DC due to Obama’s inability to be run his Presidency as if he was a Republican.
Obama, how about some bipartisan consideration — pick a Dem.
We need to think about making Republican a mental illness.
After all, try and find one who isn’t either batshit, wearing diapers or chasing little boys. Or in Rush Limbaugh’s case, all three.
CaliforniaMike: I already use it as a classification in my daily character judgments (see also: conservative) so I don’t see why the APA shouldn’t make it official.
Maybe he got some balls in the mail?
Way to reach out to the GOP, President Obama. Now you know what you get when you try to shake hands with a snake: fang marks.
So…can we have war crimes tribunals now? Just give it some thought.
Maybe Karl Rove had the real Judge Dredd killed and replaced with a cyborg built by the CIA (or something.) The technology? Pioneered by the guy who gave E. Howard Hunt those microphones that looked just like real Chap Stick.
Even as I type this crap, Rove is operating fake Judge Dredd with a Futaba brand radio control, cackling maniacally and taking occasional sips of warm Korbel from a yellow solo cup.
Ahh, partisan bile. This feels warm and cozy, like it’s 2006 or so all over again. I hope I’m not alone in tearing up a little bit.
Magnus Maximus: Is it one of those “easy sip” Solo cups or do you have to go through the impossible tasks of finding a blunt object to open it with? THE AMERICAN PEOPLE DESERVE AN EXPLANATION. Or not. Because partisan politics is ruining the Solo cup debate. Who will bailout Solo?
Shorts, not sure. My sources have run dry with regards to this matter.
Which means Karl Rove has killed them.
The WashingtonPost asked the opinion of the usual Washington In/Outers, like Linda Chavez and Karl Rove.
This tidbit from
ED ROGERS
Judd Gregg… And I love him.

Well, according to all the Republicans on Fox News, this is all because Judd Gregg was going to be forced to count Mexicans as people, and Republicans just don’t play that.
alright barry. let’s pick the left lane and go. bipartisanism, fuck all dat.
This will be the first census to get decently funded in like…ever. Still another death knell for the GOP, who have fought for 30 years to get as shadowy and loose a count as one could imagine, by having hobos in tattered pajamas wandering neighborhoods asking to come in and count the children in their beds. Whereupon it would become obvious to the homeowner that hobos don’t count that good. That’s the genius part.
Let us find some other Big Bag of FAIL to appoint.
Appoint Bill and get the last laugh.
What. The. Fuck.
Blago Baseball.
bago: Is a Joliet JackHammer anything like a Donkey Punch?
But, seriously, who the fuck dreams about playing in the minor leagues and did you catch this fucker on Hannity last night? It was like watching Randall McMurphy trying to get The Chief to dunk. Too much crazy for one TeeVee.
Is it 2010 yet? I can’t wait to get rid of more Repugnants.
Does anybody read “Fortune” mag? I know I never do but today I caught the senior editor A. Sloan on C-Span. As a rule C-Span makes my eyes coat over like a glazed ham but I found myself hanging onto every word this guy uttered in his funny, Woody Allen-like manner. I especially liked when he would field questions from Rethugs and be forced to explain what the true meaning of words like traitor, socialist and treason are, according to the English language, and how they cannot possibly be applied to what is happening with the stimulus package, et al. A commerce secretary perhaps? Also.
